The lockers on board the Titanic





When Doug hides in a janitor's room, there's a row of lockers behind him - those metal ones with little slits near the top for ventilation. They look suspiciously modern to me.

Yeah...that was most likely a case where the Art Director just had to 'wing it' and go with modern stuff since they may not have had photos/plans etc, showing what the lockers on the real Titanic might have looked like.

I imagine that's it DD. For such a futuristic show it has a decidedly "cheap" look at times, eg the nerve centre of an operation that faciliates time travel is a few desultory computers surrounded by darkness!

I don't have a problem with that - early Dr Who made the Time Tunnel look like Cleoptatra, but in my mind I was transported all over time and space - same in the TT. I was terrified for those guys, so vulnerable as they sailed through time, never knowing whether they'd get separated or stranded somewhere. I hated it when the show ended and they showed a teaser for next week's - THAT always seemed like it was going to be the best episode ever!

Back to the lockers, and I just imagine they would be wooden. Or why even bother? It was a janitor's room, so they could have just strewn some mops and buckets around. Or maybe I'm wrong and it's a fascimile of the Titanic!
